Oh, yeah. We had cicadas last summer or fall--I don't remember when exactly, but it was recent. It wasn't that bad, though, aside from the constant chirping.

Now, cricket season in central Texas can be a true horror. The lights at offices and schools completely fill up with cricket carcasses--to the point where it's almost as if the light isn't even on. And, I remember in high school, after band practice in the morning, we'd go back inside, and the wall with door we'd enter through was black with crickets. And we'd have to run through because there were so many crickets, that they'd just randomly lose their footing and fall on you if you walked through. It was literally raining crickets.

It sounds like that's what your cicada season is like. You have my condolences.

Yuck. I seriously think bug infestations are one of the worst things in the world. DISGUSTING.
